It has days that you can set to water too.So if you should be able to water one day a week by only picking one day
31495
Yes! You can pick the day(s) you want to water, what time to start, and how long to run the sprinklers at each station. You can manually turn it off on rainy days, and change the settings anytime you want. It's very easy to use!

Yes it can programmed for one day aweek I have mine programmed for 2 days a week. Easy to do

No, there is only a timer that is set by "every day", "every 2 days", "every 3 days", and so on. Makes it pretty inconvenient for areas with watering restrictions on certain days of the week. What I do is set it for "every 7" days. I can turn the timer on the night before to go off in the morning for an hour or so and at the end of the day when I'm back from work, I turn the timer off. Every time you turn it back on, it resets your day one.

You just choose a frequency (daily, every other day, every third day) and within that part of the dial choose the number of minutes you want to water. For example if you want to water 30 minutes every other day, turn the dial to the 30 within the section of the dial that says "every other day" and it will turn on every other day for 30 minutes. Whatever time it is when you set it is the time it will go on - like if you set it today at 5pm, it will water for 30 minutes at 5 pm every other day, if you set it at 6am, it will run then each time, etc.

The answer is YES, you may eschdule two different watering cycles per day (24 hours format) and also you can program the length of the timing. Device is really easy to program once you read the instructions, also you can program any or all the days you want watering from 1 t 7 days. I bought an gardena sprinkler connected to the timer and what a set I have, I am more than happy using both articles.

Yes you can set for a week or more. Just program it for a particular time and if you need to water at another time use the manual override, it will not change the program you have preset.

No that wouldn't work. You need water pressure from a live line to make it work.

You just turn on the water and let it drip for as long as you need. If you have a timer for your spigot you could use that as well. If you left it on all the time you would probably end up flooding the area you wanted watered.

when you turn it on to how long you want it to water you choose every day, every other day or third day and it willwater at the same time each watering day...

There is no problem with once week use however if left on some of the water will evaporate so that the first use will give only a partial pot. To force out existing water pour fresh water in and start as normal. Unplugging the unit for the week is the best way. There is no switch for the water reservoir.

Yes it will. You have a couple of options for this. You can water a single station by turning the dial to that station and then press the "Water Now" button. It will start watering for 10 minutes, but you can easily adjust the time with simple up and down arrows. Or, you can simply press the "Water All Stations" button and the system will cycle through each station, watering them for 10 minutes per station. Again, you can adjust the length of time with an up/down arrow buttons. I use these features fairly often, since the weather has been anything but consistent out here.

As long as there is water pressure there is no reason it won't keep up. As long as the city has backup generators to keep the pressure up you should be fine

Yes, but I use tap water and it works fine. I have to fill it up once a day so buying distilled gets expensive.

No, you would need to change the water is well. completely different type of system. it's well worth it though!

You can run individual zones on the timer up to 4 times a day. It also allows you to manually water any zone now by setting the zone you want, and pushing the "water zone now" button.

Boy, I really don't know. I have city water and use a water softener as well. I'm sure there is a spec! Try emailing the people selling this unit. It works well for me and they have always ansered my questions within 24hrs. Usually sooner.. Good luck my friend !

Good quetion! The only way I can think to do that takes away some of the advantage of an automated system. That would be to program days and watering times for the valves as desired, leave the system off and then turn on when needed and use the "water all zones one time (or only one zone) button", turning system off again when done. I know that's not an ideal scenario, but I think it's all the system will allow since it's based on weekly rather than monthly programing intervals.

There is the standard out of box programing which is the 7 day scheduler. But if you have certain water restrictions that only allow you to water on certain days or days of the week it can be done my using the custom programing on the scene editor. The support team is very responsive. I posted my water restrictions (only first and third Sunday of the month) and they replied within hours on how to program the system to meet the restrictions. You can see the post for more information on this. http://forum.hydroflash.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t;=209
